How many years of experience do you have? You get more efficient over time and learn to manage your work. I travel frequently (both for work and otherwise), and I almost always work the whole plane ride, work from my phone while in Uber or train, and get drafting done in the early morning so I can enjoy the rest of my “days off.” Admittedly, I usually have my laptop close by at all times for emergencies (mostly for my own peace of mind). I generally do not fully disconnect because I find it easy enough to stay on top of email from my phone (this works for me personally, but I know others disagree). My team is great about giving me space when I use my out of office message though, and they all know to text or call if something is actually urgent. I also use a portable monitor, which makes working from a hotel or coffee shop significantly better.

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.

Anyone have any insight on the Orlando staff counsel offices for GEICO or State Farm? I currently work at an established insurance defense firm, but am looking to switch for a better work life balance. How is compensation for a 4th year attorney? Should I expect better work life balance working as staff counsel? My understanding is that I should, but I wanted to see if anyone had experience with either office.
